A Warm Welcome to
Altwood Church of England School
I am so proud to be the Headteacher of Altwood Church of England School; it really is a special place to learn and to work.
From the moment you arrive, you will feel the positive energy and quickly come to understand that our values of Truth, Forgiveness, Faith, Hope and Joy live and breathe in everything we do. We celebrate differences at Altwood, which creates a welcoming and inclusive environment. We are committed to nurturing and challenging everyone in the school, and it is our goal to deliver academic outcomes, as well as rounded, confident young people, regardless of background or special education need.
